Andre Ye

I am an incoming EECS PhD student at MIT working in human-AI interaction. I am completing my undergraduate at the University of Washington studying philosophy and computer science, minoring in math and history. I want to build AI tools for thought (esp. for the textual social sciences and the public), computational models for philosophy, and AI that produces new concepts (in the form of vocabulary, metaphors, connections). My philosophical interests include existentialist phenomenology, “pragmatist” philosophy of science, and Deleuze-like metaphysics. Currently I am thinking about what a task is — in AI, in philosophy, in science, in political and ethical life. Please see my research agenda, CV, and SOP for more details. I was very fortunate to be advised by Amy Zhang, Ranjay Krishna, and Rose Novick at UW. My email is andreye [at] uw [dot] edu.
